Deleted Sequences

Kaer Morhen: Cooking for Yennefer

In this deleted sequence, Geralt would have had the opportunity to visit Kaer Morhen's kitchen to gather ingredients and cook Yennefer a meal while she worked her magic on UMA in order to remove his curse.

Version A: Geralt Cooks (If Player Romanced Yen)

In the first version of the scene, Yen says that she's famished, and asks Geralt to prepare her some food. If he answers "I'm not too great with food," Yen relates a memory from a time when the two lived in Aedd Gynvael, and Geralt, trying to make soft-boiled eggs, got distracted by her nightdress and forgot to add water. She instructs him to prepare something she likes, such as scrambled eggs, or an omelet with onions, mushrooms, and peppers, if he really wants to spoil her.

Geralt can then visit the castle kitchen to find the ingredients and try his hand at preparing something. If he doesn't put in what she asks, the recipe is a disaster, and he mutters that he can't serve this to Yen. If he returns with the meal she asked for, he earns her thanks.

Geralt also has the opportunity to antagonize Yen by teasing her about everyone being at her beck and call, which she doesn't appreciate. He then asks if he's supposed to spoon-feed her, as her hands are busy with her spell. The answer seems to be yes, and the scene blacks out and transitions to the used sequence in which Geralt wakes Yen as she's dozing off in the midst of her casting.

Version B: Vesimir Cooks (If Player Didn't Romance Yen)

In the second version of the scene, Geralt walks off before Yen can ask him to cook her something, and so she resorts to asking Vesimir, instead. The scene quickly transitions to the used sequence in which Geralt wakes Yen as she's dozing off in the midst of her casting.

Unused Items

Geralt's Early Swords & Scabbard

In much of the promotional material for The Witcher 3, Geralt is shown carrying uniquely-designed steel and silver swords, as well as a crosshatched scabbard, items not accessible to the player in the final game.

A user called OlekKing restored this unused equipment in a mod, pictured below:

Early Silver Sword - Restored via Mod

Two points of interest regarding this equipment:

• The early Silver Sword scabbard was repurposed as part of the Cat School armour set.
• The early Steel Sword was repurposed as a weapon wielded by one of the Eternal Fire guards who accompanies Tamara to Crookback Bog in order to find her mother.
